UCB Bimzelx competitor sonelokimab shows mixed phase 3 results in HS

In UCB related news, MoonLake Therapeutics (no coverage) reported topline phase 3 data for Bimzelx competitor, sonelokimab (IL-17A/F nanobody) in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) that showed mixed results. Averaging both VELA-1 and VELA-2 trials brings us to a 13.5% placebo adjusted HiSCR75 response, which is lower than the 17.5% that Bimzelx showed in BE HEARD I and II, and the approx. 20% delta bar set by MoonLake's management earlier this year. Acknowledging the high placebo response in VELA-2, the bottom line is that sonelokimab appears less efficacious than Bimzelx on paper on the key HiSCR75 endpoint. We reiterate our € 214 TP and ACCUMULATE.
